Pigeon Forge sweeps King’s in tennis action
Spreading the scoring out between four players, The King’s Academy Lions chalked up another win Monday night, blanking Sequoyah 6-0.
David Inyang and Kevin Taylor each netted a pair of goals for the Lions while Se Hun Park and Sung Tue Lee added one score apiece.
The Lions, who led 4-0 at the end of the first half, had an overwhelming 23 shots on goal, compared to just five shots on goal by Sequoyah.
The King’s Academy’s defense did a remarkable job of protecting its own goal and allowed for a relatively quiet night for rotating keepers Ben Blodgett and Se Hun Park. The Lions’ keepers split duties with both Blodgett and Park playing exactly one half. Neither Lions’ goalie allowed a score and both recorded two saves in the game.
On offense, both Inyang and Taylor attempted six shots on goal. Gareth Rowlands, who attempted three shots on goal, had one assist in the game.
Andy Deatheridge was also credited with an assist for The King’s Academy.
